30 Jul 08 - 11:06 AM (#2401303) Subject: Lyr Add: I LOVE MARY (Paddy Roberts) From: GUEST,Lanfranc the temporarily cookiless Bryn The song is "I Love Mary" I love Mary, shy little blue-eyed Mary Warm and glowing as an autumn sky Sweet, sweet Mary, never a bit contrary And I'll love her 'til the day I die But I'm going out with a blowsy old trout called Sadie She's right on the ball but she ain't what you'd call a lady But she's twice as rich as Croesus, sleeps in golden fleeces And when I see the dough, my principles go to pi-pi-pieces I'm weak in the head when it comes to the ready money Just jingle the tin, very soon I'll begin to dance And though I love Mary, pretty little Mary Mary doesn't stand a chance Yes, I've got a date with a crabby old crate called Sadie Got a face like a cart and believe me she's not a lady As a beauty she's a stumer, but I'll keep my sense of humour I can "summon a laugh" as long as she's got that old mazuma So I put out the cat and do this and that for Sadie And if I keep my health I can end up a wealthy man And though I love Mary, bentle little Mary Mary doesn't suit my plan Mary's just an also-ran The only bit of the lyric I'm not sure of is "summon a laugh" in the last verse - I've just listened to the track three times (I have it on my Zune - I also had a Betamax!) and I'm afraid PR's normally excellent diction doesn't make this clear. Cheers Alan |
